Rating: - Mediocre collection of New Avengers issues #21-#25
This fifth New Avengers trade paperback collects issues #21-#25 of the Marvel series written by Brian Michael Bendis. The first four issues feature the respective reactions of team members Captain America, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman and The Sentry to the impending Superhero Registration Act.

Unfortunately these five issues feature five different art teams, little of which is notable. ... Read More

As many other readers have noted, these solo takes on the infighting New Avengers are mostly filler, save for the pulse-pounding issue #25 featuring Iron Man helpless against a disgruntled employee. Since Captain America appeared in Civil War and his own book, however, did we really need to see him in solo action in New Avengers? Issue #25, as well as an appearance by the Inhumans ... Read More
Rating: - New Avengers continues to be great
Great stuff. Not for the uninitiated, but fans of New Avengers and Civil War should love this. The best of the Civil War tie-in books. Highlights are the Leinil Yu Cage issue and the Chaykin Captain America issue.
